With the Hadith

The Emirate - Part Two

We greet you all, dear listeners, and start with the best greeting, so peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

Reported by Muslim in his Sahih, may God have mercy on him

Narrated Qutaiba bin Saeed and Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah, they said: Hatim narrated to us, and he is Ibn Ismail, from Al-Muhajir bin Mismar, from Amer bin Saad bin Abi Waqqas, who said: "I wrote to Jabir bin Samura with my servant Nafi' to inform me of something you heard from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said: So he wrote to me, I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, on a Friday evening when Al-Aslami was stoned, saying: "The religion will continue to exist until the Hour comes, or there will be twelve caliphs over you, all of them from Quraish." And I heard him say: "A group of Muslims will conquer the White House, the House of Kisra, or the family of Kisra." And I heard him say: "Indeed, before the Hour there will be liars, so beware of them." And I heard him say: "If God gives one of you good, then let him start with himself and his family." And I heard him say: "I am the vanguard at the Basin."

The saying of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace: (A group of Muslims will conquer the White House, the House of Kisra)  

This is one of the apparent miracles of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and they conquered it - thanks to God - during the time of Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, and Al-Usaybah is a diminutive of Usbah, which is the group, and Kisra is with a kasra or a fatha on the kaf.  

Servants of God

It is the good news, the good news of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to his companions and his nation that the future belongs to Islam and its people. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, gave his companions and his nation the good news of the conquest of the Ansar (lands of disbelief) and gave them the good news of the treasures of Kisra and Caesar. This is the speech of the one who does not speak of his own desire, it is only a revelation that is revealed, and God Almighty has bestowed favor upon the believers by supporting them and establishing them on earth.

So God Almighty gave His believing servants the good news that the future belongs to Islam and its people, and bestowed favor upon them by supporting them, and even ordered our Lord Almighty His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, to give his companions and his nation the good news of victory, empowerment, and triumph, and to give them the good news that the future belongs to Islam and its people, even if the disbelievers hate it, even if the hypocrites hate it, even if the polytheists hate it.

So He, glory be to Him, said: - (It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions, even though the polytheists hate it) As-Saff, and He said (And indeed, our soldiers, they are the victors) As-Saffat

O sons of the conquerors:-

Let the world know the virtues of our righteous predecessors and how much they worked to establish the pillars of this religion?

Here is news of those who preceded you from the conquerors, as the beloved Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, told about them (A group of Muslims will conquer the White House, the House of Kisra)

It is Saad bin Abi Waqqas, may God be pleased with him, the conqueror of Al-Madain and the extinguisher of the Magian fire forever, one of the ten who were given the good news of Paradise. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said about him: (This is my maternal uncle, so let a man show me his maternal uncle)

He was the first to shed blood in Islam. My father and mother were sacrificed for him. He had two weapons: his spear and his supplication. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (O God, answer him when he calls upon You)

When the Persians prepared to fight the Arabs, Omar, may God be pleased with him, said: By God, I will strike the kings of the Persians with the kings of the Arabs. Omar wanted to lead the army himself, but the people of counsel dissuaded him.

Omar said: Then advise me of a man... Then Omar said: I found him! They said: Who? He said: "The lion attacking with his claws, Saad bin Malik," the maternal uncle of the Prophet.

The lion in his claws conquers Al-Madain, and in it is the famous Iwan of Kisra:-

The spoils that the Muslims brought back to Medina make the Iwan worthy of its fame, as it contained his crown, two bracelets, and a huge carpet inlaid with pearls and jewels, and the three daughters of Kisra, wearing robes and jewels that were beyond description.

The Iwan of Kisra, which has become a relic after being an eye, is the remaining trace of one of the palaces of Kisra Anushirvan, which was built during the reign of Kisra I, known as Anushirvan, and is considered one of the greatest buildings of its kind in that era.

It is located south of the city of Baghdad in the Al-Madain area, and is known locally and to the public as (Salman Pak) after the companion Salman Al-Farsi, may God be pleased with him, who is buried there.

Iraq was one of the countries occupied by the Persians during the Sasanian dynasty, and before its liberation at the hands of the second Rashidun Caliph (Omar bin Al-Khattab, "may God be pleased with him"), Al-Madain was one of the capitals of Persia and was the site of the palace of Kisra Anushirvan, which is known (as the White Palace) to the Persians, which contained the great Persian fire that they used to worship - God forbid -  

As we know, at the birth of the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, one of the miracles of his birth was the extinguishing of the Persian fire that was burning in the Iwan and the splitting of the wall of the arch of Kisra along the palace, and the split still exists to this day in the arch, which was like a horror that amazed the Persians at that time without knowing the reason for it.

The Battle of Al-Madain took place between the Muslims and the Persians in the year 16 AH. Thirty thousand gathered with Saad, may God be pleased with him, and Omar, may God be pleased with him, bid him farewell, advising him to fear God and to say frequently, "There is no power or strength except with God, the Most High, the Almighty."  

The Persians threw all their strength, and the supreme commander of the Persian army was leading the war himself with the best of the Persian commanders, and the army was (120) thousand strong, followed by the same number.

The Muslims did not encounter in all their wars a more violent resistance than they encountered from the Persians in this battle. They showed amazing patience and showed superior combat ability.

After the Muslims besieged the palace, Salman Al-Farsi, may God be pleased with him, went to them, and he says to them:- Accept one of three: either Islam and you will be one of us, you will have what we have, and you will be responsible for what we are responsible for, or the jizya and we will protect you, or the war, and on the third day these Persians will come out, and they will accept paying the jizya to the Muslims.

During it, the Muslims were able to control the eastern Al-Madain, where the Iwan of Kisra is located; where Saad crossed the Tigris River from the narrowest place in it on the advice of Salman Al-Farsi on their horses. When the Persians saw this, they fled, and Saad bin Abi Waqqas entered the Iwan of Kisra, and a few days earlier he was threatening the Muslims and promising them from his white palace, the headquarters of the king of the Akasra, which was a sign of magnificence and splendor, and in that palace Saad bin Abi Waqqas performed the prayer of thanksgiving to God for this great conquest and recited in humility the saying of God Almighty:- (How much they left behind of gardens and springs (25) And crops and noble dwellings (26) And comfort wherein they were rejoicing (27) Thus, and We caused to inherit it another people (28) And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved) Ad-Dukhan ,,, 

May God be with you, O lion, in your claws, managing the fiercest battles, and your sores festering and bleeding while he shouts - Adhere to your positions, do not move anything until you reach noon, for I am magnifying three magnifications, and if it is the fourth, then carry and say, "There is no power or strength except with God."

The Muslims gained many spoils in the conquest of Al-Madain, including: the treasures of Kisra, his crown, his clothes, his bracelets, and from the captives were the daughters of Kisra. Omar said: What is the way to deal with them? Ali said: They are valued (meaning their price is estimated) and whatever the price is, the one who chooses them will pay it. They were valued and Ali took them (at the price of his share of the carpet that he had won, which was fifty thousand dinars), and he gave one to Abdullah bin Omar, and he came from him with his son Salem, and he gave the second to Muhammad bin Abi Bakr, and he came from him with his son Al-Qasim, and he gave the third to his son Al-Hussein, and he came from him with his son Ali Zain Al-Abidin.  

O you who were given the good news by the beloved Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace:- 

The good news is valid until the Day of Judgment - just as he gave us the good news of the conquest of the White House - the Iwan of Kisra - the home of the disbelievers - and the good news was fulfilled, the Magian fire was extinguished forever, and the banners of punishment were legislated on its building - so he also gave us the good news of the conquest of the White House (in Washington) - then the home of the disbelievers - and God willing, the fire of capitalism will be extinguished forever and the banners of punishment will be legislated on its building, and the second conquest will be completed, God willing, because the one who gave the good news is the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.  

– Because of his saying, may God bless him and grant him peace (Indeed, God has folded the earth for me, so I saw its east and its west, and indeed my nation will reach its kingdom what was folded for me from it) narrated by Muslim, and because of his saying (This matter will surely reach as far as the night and the day reach, and God will not leave a house of mud or hair except that God will enter this religion into it, with the might of the mighty, or with the humiliation of the humble, a might with which God exalts Islam, and a humiliation with which God humiliates disbelief) narrated by Ahmad

This conquest requires the Muslims to return to their religion and to their Lord and to return to the path of prophethood to what the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions were upon, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, gave the Muslims the good news of that.

O best nation brought forth for mankind:-

Whoever claims that victory can only be achieved through miracles has lied. Persia and Rome were conquered, and the kingdom of Kisra and Caesar disappeared, and the Muslims invaded India and conquered Constantinople. There must be work and sacrifice for this religion - and victory for those who deserve it --, our nation may get sick, but it does not die, its flame fades, but it does not go out, and let the systems of disbelief know that we are a nation that knows no place for despair and does not lose hope in God. And the Muslims will have in the future a great kingdom in which Islam will spread, polytheism will be humiliated, and Rome and the second White House will be conquered, God willing,

Confirming the saying of God Almighty in His Book:- (Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during this worldly life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand) Ghafir

Dear listeners, until we meet you with another prophetic hadith, we leave you in God's care, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

With the Hadith - Do you know who is bankrupt?

With the Hadith

Do you know who is bankrupt?

May Allah greet you, our dear listeners, listeners of the radio of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir. We meet you again with our program "With the Hadith," and the best way to start our episode is with the greeting of Islam, so peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

It is mentioned in Musnad Ahmad - Remainder of the Musnad of the Prolific Narrators - that the bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with fasting, prayer, and charity, but he comes having insulted this person, slandered this person, and consumed the wealth of this person.

Narrated 'Abd al-Rahman from Zuhair from al-'Ala' from his father from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Do you know who is bankrupt?" They said: "The bankrupt among us, O Messenger of Allah, is the one who has no dirham or goods." He said: "Indeed, the bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with fasting, prayer, and charity, but he comes having insulted this person, slandered this person, and consumed the wealth of this person. So he will sit, and this one will take from his good deeds, and that one will take from his good deeds, and if his good deeds are exhausted before he settles what is owed to him of sins, their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be thrown into the Fire."

This hadith, like other important hadiths, must be understood and realized. Some people are bankrupt despite their prayers, fasting, and zakat, because they insulted this person, slandered this person, consumed the wealth of this person, shed the blood of this person, and beat this person.

His bankruptcy is that his good deeds, which are his capital, are taken and given to this one and used to pay off that one for the price of his slander, insult, and beating. After his good deeds are exhausted before he settles what is owed, their sins are taken and cast upon him, then he is thrown into the Fire.

When the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked his companions, "Do you know who is bankrupt?" "Do you know" means knowledge and awareness of the inner workings of things. "Do you know" means "Do you really know who is bankrupt?" This confirms the saying of our master Ali, may Allah honor his face: "Wealth and poverty are after the presentation to Allah." When they were asked this question, they answered based on their experiences: "The bankrupt among us is the one who has no dirham or goods." This is the bankrupt in the eyes of the companions of the Messenger of Allah. So he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: No... HE SAID: "INDEED, THE BANKRUPT OF MY NATION IS THE ONE WHO COMES ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WITH FASTING, PRAYER, AND CHARITY..."

This confirms the saying of our master Umar: "Whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may pray, but it is righteousness," because prayer, fasting, Hajj, and zakat are acts of worship that a person may do with sincerity, or he may do them hypocritically, but the center of gravity is to adhere to the command of Allah.

We ask Allah to keep us steadfast on the truth, and make us of His righteous servants, and replace our bad deeds with good deeds, and not disgrace us on the Day of Presentation to Him, O Allah, Amen.

Our dear listeners, until we meet you with another prophetic hadith, we entrust you to Allah, whose deposits are never lost. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

With the Hadith - The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

With the Hadith

The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

We greet you all, dear friends, everywhere, in a new episode of your program "With the Hadith," and we begin with the best greeting: Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

It was narrated from Buraidah, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Do not call a hypocrite 'Sayyid' (master), for if he is a master, then you have angered your Lord, the Almighty and Sublime." Narrated by Abu Dawood with a Sahih (authentic) chain of narration.

Dear listeners,

Indeed, the best of speech is the word of God Almighty, and the best guidance is the guidance of His Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah, peace and blessings be upon him. Now then,

This noble Hadith guides us on how to deal with the hypocrites we know. The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was the only one who knew all the hypocrites by their names, but we can recognize some of them by their characteristics, such as those mentioned in the Quran who perform their obligatory duties lazily and grudgingly, and those who plot against Islam and Muslims, encourage strife, spread corruption on earth, and love to spread immorality by calling for it, protecting it, and nurturing it, and those who tell lies about Islam and Muslims... and others who are characterized by hypocrisy.

Therefore, we must understand what the Sharia (Islamic law) has deemed good and what it has deemed bad, so that we can distinguish the hypocrite from the sincere, and take appropriate action towards them. We should not trust those who do what contradicts the Sharia while pretending to do what they do out of concern for Islam and Muslims. We should not follow them or support them, or even less than that, by describing them as "Sayyid," otherwise God Almighty will be angry with us.

We Muslims must be the most keen people on Islam and Muslims, and not allow any hypocrite an entry point into our religion and our families, as they are among the most dangerous things we may face these days due to their abundance and the multiplicity of their faces. We must use the Sharia scale to measure the actions of those who claim to be Muslims, for Islam protects us from such evildoers.

We ask God to protect our nation from such criminals, and to guide us to the straight path and the correct scale by which we measure people's behavior, so that we stay away from those whom God does not love. Amen.

Dear friends, until we meet you with another prophetic Hadith, we leave you in God's care, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
